Offroad/ All terrain tires for 19.5" rims ?
Anyone know where to look for nice tires for 19.5" rims?
I was thinking of going to 19.5" rims to use heavier tires, but need to find tires that are grippy looking.
Apparently there are also 22" rims, but then the tires are all 36"...
Hmmmmm 36" might be awesome......

Traction commercial tires are pretty aggressive, but I wouldn't call them "all-terrain" tires. You lose alot of the compliance necessary for off-roading in commercial tires because of the steel belt count, but they work great for gravel and hard-pack field work.
You don't want 22's, because they don't make 22" true commercial tires. That would be the 22.5" standard BUDD wheel. Some sell modified 22.5 wheels to fit 22" standard tires, but I wouldn't do it.

Check out goodyears g177 tire. IT comes in 22.5 though.
For 19.5s check out goodyears g171.
The 19.5's and 22.5s tire and rim are really heavy, they will add a sh17load of weight to your truck. They are also very costly (think nice shiny alcoa's!) and not very practical for most f250's out there. (although are very cool on a dually!) With this size tire and rim, a gear change is most likely gonna be needed too. (which adds to the cost)
But im sure you knew that

Weight is only relative to the weight of the vehicle. IMHO.
I want to find a highway tire that looks aggressive like mud tires, but nothing elses similar.
I love the look of lifted with giant mud tires, but do not want mud tires.
I want to find wider big highway tires that will go on rickson's 19.5" rims. It would look awesome, and drive awesome.

Very true, but a 22.5 "aggressive" style tire, and rim, probably weigh 200 lbs each, maybe even a little more!
Thats a whole lot of additional weight!
Also, the ride quality, would probably drop too. Those commercial tires are stiff, and would make a light vehicle ride pretty rough.
They sure would look deadly though!

I just saw a Dmax the other day with 22.5's. Super gay. My wife just kept saying how ugly it looked...I am a big fan of jacked trucks and it looked pretty lame.
I was on some other Ford 7.3 site yesterday that I never heard of and saw a picture of a SD with 22.5's. Still gay. That is just my not so humble opinion. It is your truck and your money.
We got fairly aggressive tires for our ambulance (converted to service truck) at work. They had good traction and were a little louder. They were pretty narrow though. They were pretty pricey. IIRC they were Goodyears. We got them at Jack's Tire in South Beloit, IL. We got aggressive 22.5's on our engine when I was on the fire dept as well. Don't remember the brand. They came from Pete's Tire in Elkhorn, WI.

I'm running 19.5's with the Michelin XDE2+ in the 285/70R19.5. I got my package from Ricksons. I went with the 7.5 wheels black with stainless steel trim. They are taller than 315/75R16 by about 2 inches mounted. They are a true 36 inch tall tire, but I have a 2 inch leveling kit so I don't have any clearance issues. I have some pics side by side with my old 315's and on my truck, but cant post up from work. They are a mud/snow rated tire and have an AT tire look to them. Being "H" rated there is very little sidewall flex, so they may not really be a good option for offroad performance. You generally see them on class "C" and "A" motor homes and on commercial car hauler trailers. I got them to handle my 3500 pound truck camper, and they were perfect to help eliminate some of the roll from sidewall flex you find in LT tires.

I do believe they are, but they look sexy because they're much wider than other 22.5's i've seen so far.
This is my response as of price:
those wheels are 475.00 each the special adapters to make the fit properly are $1295.00 for the set and the tires are 675.00 each mtd and balanced in a good tire like a goodyear or michelin
accessories are $150.00 for the complete wheel kit
--------------
Pricey, but consider these tires will probably outlast 2-4 sets of normal tires......
Damn it all anyway, that is damn expensive.... over 6000$ by the time you'd get them....
